Chapter 226 It’s getting late
August 14, 23rd year of Zhaohua.
Li Chen'an entered the Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo and did not return to Huaxi Villa until late at night.
Of course, this matter fell into the eyes of some people who are interested, but no one knew what Mrs. Fan and Li Chenan were talking about.
On the morning of August 15th, Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess of Ning Guo, arrived at Huaxi Villa.
She took Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui into the palace, but it was not her princess's mansion.
But the Eastern Palace!
Li Chenan stayed in the East Palace for another morning, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept him for lunch together.
No one knew what they said.
Even the prince's close minister Huo Baiyang just walked into the study of His Highness the Crown Prince.
The door of the study room was closed, and no one was left behind in it.
On the afternoon of August 15, Wang Zhengjin Zhong of the Imperial City Department personally carried a carriage and took Li Chenan to the Hall of Hell.
He did not come out of the Imperial City Division until the evening.
Changsun Jinghong personally sent him to the dark gate of the Imperial City Department!
This surprised some people even more.
Because Changsun Jinghong, the old King of Hell, dared to refuse the emperor's summons, he sent Li Chen'an out.
I was smiling when I came out!
Of course, Li Wenyuan failed to see Li Chen'an again. Li Wenhou's intention to tie Li Chen'an to Yue State naturally failed.
This autumn rain is still falling.
It's even bigger than what happened yesterday.
Of course, there will be no bright moon on this Mid-Autumn Night.
This Mid-Autumn Night made many people in Kyoto feel a sudden chill.
Even after hearing the news, Wei Xuanmo looked at Qiuyu outside the door for an hour.
"Sir, does this mean that the struggle between the Prince of Ningguo and the Second Prince of the Second Prince is put on the table?"
Yang Duoduo was wearing a Confucian shirt and respectfully handed a cup of tea to Wei Xuanmo and asked this question.
After a while, Wei Xuanmo stroked his long beard and said leisurely: "Your analysis is correct, our opportunity for Yue Kingdom is here!"
"... Will Li Chenan die tonight?"
"There shouldn't be any surprises. After all, Ji Xiang made this game a sure death game!"
Wei Xuanmo pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Ji Xiang said that the Mid-Autumn Festival literary meeting was the only one that Li Chen was defeated, the emperor would definitely issue an order to die!"
"So these days, the second prince did not attack Li Chenan again. I think he hoped that Li Chenan would die at the hands of the Emperor of Ningguo."
"But today, people from the prince's group stood up... They should have stood up after the Wenhui decided the winner and Li Chenan won the leader."
"This is what my teacher is confused about!"
"This explains two points!"
"First, they firmly believe that Li Chenan will win tonight!"
Yang Duoduo looked puzzled. He didn't know how Li Chenan beat them.
Regardless of how many students Ji Tai bribed Tai Academy who participated in this literary association, just because of his classmates, Li Chenan is no match!
Especially Ji Tai, yesterday, revealed to the teacher the question that Emperor Ningguo of Wenhui is most likely to choose!
This made the students who came to participate in the literary association of Yue Kingdom very despised, but at the same time they also made them clear the faces of officials such as Ning Kingdom.
The teacher agreed.
Although it is not a force to win, for the sake of the great cause of Yue State... so what if you win?
"Secondly, maybe they are already ready to take advantage of the emperor's order to kill Li Chen'an... to initiate a palace revolution!"
Yang Duoduo was startled, his big eyes suddenly opened, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ji Xiang's line has already made arrangements and is waiting for them to rebel... Is this move falling into Ji Xiang's thoughts?"
"Yes, but no one can say whether the prince and his group have already prepared!"
"Otherwise, with the wisdom of Fan Taohua and Changsun Jinghong, how could they choose to meet Li Chenan at this moment?"
...
...
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at Lingyan Lake from the Lingyan Pavilion, it was like a vast ink painting.
Ji Tai was standing in the Lingyan Pavilion at this moment, stroking his long beards and looking at this beautiful picture.
Next to him is a wheelchair.
The old man in the wheelchair was naturally the black robe.
He also looked at Lingyan Lake, without the indifference of Ji Tai in his eyes, but with worry like this autumn rain.
"It's going to be late!"
He withdrew his gaze, looked up at Ji Tai, and said again: "Are you really worried that something big will happen tonight?"
Ji Tai smiled slightly, and did not answer his words, but pointed to Lingyan Lake, "I like Qiu very much!"
"In such autumn days, there is no summer heat, and no cicadas' screams."
"Some are... the fragrance of osmanthus, the brilliance of chrysanthemums, and the autumn rain that is as smoke as fog."
"Of course, the most important thing is the harvest of autumn!"
He turned his head to the old man in black robe, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
"Although you also have extremely high wisdom, it's a pity that you are not Xi Wei after all."
"Do you know what Xi Wei is best at?"
Ji Tai turned his head to look at Lingyan Lake with the light of doubt that appeared in the eyes of the old man in black.
"Virtual, real, real, real, fake, floating, misty, and faint, like looking at the moon in the water, like flowers in the fog..."
The old man in black robe suddenly shook, "Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival is just a cover!"
"The Mid-Autumn Festival Wenhui deals with Li Chenan, so that everyone's attention is focused on Li Chenan's life and death!"
"The Marquis of Dingguo, Duke Cheng, Duke Qi, and the Eastern Palace, as well as the Imperial City Office, are all paying attention to the outcome of this literary meeting!"
"Then, they will definitely ignore other places..."
“Where will it be?”
Ji Tai did not answer.
A victory smile appeared on his face, which also confirmed that the old man in black robe was correct.
This is Xi Wei's plan!
The meaning is not Li Chenan at all!
Instead...the tax grains that are being transported from all over the country to Kyoto!
Especially the tax grains in the recent Jiangnan province!
Why is Li Chenan afraid of it?
In Ningguo today, food is more important than anything!
Let everyone in Kyoto focus on the Mid-Autumn Festival on Li Chenan. The tax grain transported from Jiangnan Province to Kyoto also arrived at the Shili slope of the Shuangjiao Mountains on this Mid-Autumn night!
Shilipo is still a 10-day drive from Kyoto.
Ten days later, the news came back to Kyoto, and the batch of tax grain had fallen into the hands of Ji Tai.
So what if the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion has military power?
Without food and grass, the more soldiers you have, the more serious the problems you face.
Without the tax grains of Jiangnan Province, the tax grains of Annan Province this year cannot be transported to Kyoto because Yan Zifu was heading to Annan Province with his grandfather's orders.
Of course he wants to go to Wuyaguan.
But not now.
He would arrive at Wuya Pass with the robbed tax grain.
Then... it's waiting.
Wait for the time to come, lead the Red Flame Army and fight back to Kyoto!
At present, everything is going well.
In addition to the taxed grains in Jiangnan Province, the excess grain was also purchased by the Miss Shen family arranged by the Huo family. Although it was 30% more expensive, the grain price will not only rise by 30% next year!
Ji Tai withdrew his thoughts and looked up at the sky.
It's getting late.
When you go to the palace and go to the literary world with the emperor, you will have a drama that they think is very important!
Chapter completed!
